Section 19 The shrine maiden of the Ming Temple

The former dynasty and the harem have always been inextricably linked, and there were so many witches in the Ming Palace, and it didn't take long for these discussions of the courtiers to reach the ears of the harem concubine Yang. She was included in the harem by Emperor Wei after Zhen Ji left the palace, and she was born with an amorous and charming face like Zhen Ji, a little less proud, but a little more charming than Zhen Ji, although no one dared to tell her why Emperor Wei would take a fancy to her like a woman with an ordinary family background, why she could enter the palace as a concubine at once, but the fact is that since she entered the palace, she was the favor of the special room, and Emperor Wei gave almost all the favor he failed to give Zhen Ji to the Yang family. It's a pity that she has no heirs for many years, so she has never been able to compete with Empress Wei, who has a son-in-law. After the death of Ran Wei, the prince was very respectful and filial to her, and the Yang family had no opponents, Shun Shun had been in office for so many years, thinking that the prince would succeed to the throne in the future, and he would become the queen mother of course, and then find a few women of the appropriate age of the Yang family to enrich the harem of the new emperor, and the glory of the Yang family would continue in her hands. But suddenly hearing these discussions from the previous dynasty, Rao is getting older and her temperament has gradually stabilized, and she can't help but be a little angry: "How many years has this Wei Liang not come out?

"Niangniang, Uncle Wei Guo also has the approval of His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise even if those forty-nine witches can enter the Evergreen Palace, they will not be able to enter the Ming Palace. ”

The reminder of the personal maid made Yang's heart clear, she played with a ruyi made of red gold, her long nails shallow across the tourmaline gems inlaid on the ruyi, and said to herself: "Ziwu has always been deferential to me, and I treat him as if he were my own, how could he have a different heart?"

"The prince has a generous and pure filial temperament, and he has been sincere to his mother over the years, presumably someone instigated him, so he used Uncle Wei's advice without consulting with his mother. ”

"What's the use of instigating! In the early years, Wei was in power, but now he has long been vacated by His Majesty, what is the use of leaving the name of a national uncle?" Yang was helped up by the maid, "Let's go, I haven't gone to ask Your Majesty for peace today, and by the way, let's see what other demons those little demon girls can make!"

"Yes. ”

The maid helped Yang to the gate of the palace, she suddenly remembered something, stopped and said: "A few days ago, the little eunuch who cooked tea had a very good technique, so let him go to the Ming Palace with the palace." ”

"Niangniang went to invite An and came back, why don't you let the little eunuch prepare it in our palace? ”

"This palace is just to taste tea in the Ming Palace, talk to Your Majesty well, and it is not in vain that Your Majesty has favored this palace for so many years. Go, call the little eunuch over. Speaking of the word "favor", Yang's voice seemed to be like ice and a knife, and the maid didn't dare to say more, so she left.

Ming Palace.

Emperor Wei has already been poisoned into the bone marrow, and there is no doctor in the medicine stone, which all the imperial doctors know, but no one dares to say this through, as for where the poison came from and who gave it, and whether it has anything to do with the name Hua Zixu outside the state who suddenly found no trace, the imperial doctors are also silent, after all, no one wants to give themselves a lot of trouble, everyone is mixed to eat, and it is important to save their lives. Now one by one Fang Zi is thinking about it, but it is just a breath of hanging for Emperor Wei, to put it bluntly, he is a living dead, everyone is looking forward to Emperor Wei not to be on his own prescription, and they are also looking forward to the person on the dragon couch It is better to die on someone else's prescription as soon as possible, so that they can stay up with each other day by day, and they are really living like a year.

Although the imperial doctors' hearts were clear, Wen Ziwu didn't know, he hoped that Emperor Wei could get better, at least wake up first, and instruct him on how to face the extremely difficult dense forest army, and also shocked his subordinates who were about to move like his uncle, and to this day, he seems to have just understood Murong Zihua's words: You are not suitable to be an emperor. But Murong Zihua is already gone, he can't find it, and he doesn't have the energy, no matter whether he is suitable or not, he can only bite the bullet.

At this time, Wen Ziwu, whose scalp was as tight as a day, had just come down from the court, and reluctantly entered the Ming Hall with his spirits, and as soon as he stepped into the threshold, he saw Yang sitting next to Emperor Wei's couch, and a young eunuch was half-kneeling to make tea.

"Ziwu greets his father, long live his father!"

"Ziwu to Xi Niangniang, Xi Niangniang Kangtai!"

Because there is a Xi character in Yang's boudoir name, in order to show her affection, she has always asked the prince to call her Xi Niangniang, Wen Ziwu has been called this for many years, and at this time, when she saw that she was talking to Emperor Wei, she respectfully retreated to the side.

"Is the matter of the court finished today? The prince came early today," Yang gently wiped the medicine stains from the corners of the emperor's mouth with a handkerchief, and chatted with Wen Ziwu at the same time, "Today, the palace looks at your father's face much better, maybe this prescription of the imperial doctor is useful, you come and see, is it better?"

"Hui Xi Niangniang, there are not many affairs in the court today, so the sons came to ask their father for peace earlier. Wen Ziwu said as he walked towards the dragon couch, the corners of his clothes had just swept over the side of a witch with low eyebrows, and Yang raised his voice and called: "Prince be careful, don't touch them!"

Her tone was contemptuous and a little disgusted, as if she had told Wen Ziwu not to touch someone but something dirty. Wen Ziwu was stunned for a moment, looked at the gray-clothed girl at her feet, with a solemn expression, she didn't care about the appearance of someone passing by next to her, she was a little embarrassed for a while, so she hurriedly stepped over, and walked to the side of the dragon couch in three or two steps.

"Those witches are unknown, the prince's status is noble, don't get contaminated. The Yang family seemed to be whispering, but the voice was so loud as if it was deliberately for others to hear, and Wen Ziwu naturally came out of his mind, Yang Guifei was a little dissatisfied with the witch entering the palace, so he said respectfully: "The Wu clan and the Wen royal family have always had a relationship, and the father and the emperor have been ill for a long time, and the former dynasty and the harem are all uneasy, for the sake of the world, Ziwu did not have time to discuss with Xi Niangniang and allowed these witches to enter the palace to pray for his father. ”

"Good boy, how can you say such a heavy thing? You are the one who has become the prince and wants to supervise the country, how can Xi Niangniang punish you?"

Although the words are close, the word "can" in Yang's words clearly tells Wen Ziwu: You are the prince, and this palace has no right to punish you, but this palace is dissatisfied and unhappy. Wen Ziwu sighed slightly in his heart, feeling that the harem was the same as before, and he really didn't know how Emperor Wei had been able to reorganize these people well over the years. Sighing and sighing, he still continued to plead guiltily: "Now in the harem, it is the noble concubine Niangniang who is in charge of the six palaces, Ziwu should not be arrogant, but he is really worried that his father's dragon body is a little anxious, thinking that maybe the Wu clan has some secret arts......"
